I wouldn't say I enjoyed this book, because it dealt with some very dark material that I wasn't prepared for, but the story was intriguing and I'm glad I finished the book. I'm interested to know what happens to the characters as the trilogy continues. I haven't decided if I will pick up the second book yet because while I am intrigued by the story, the first book was a challenge to get through because of some traumatic elements.
